Diddy - Testimonial (Intro) lyrics
[Diddy:] I need y'all to hear me out there Can y'all hear me out there? Uhh Through blocks and boroughs, cops is plottin Snakes slither while hustlers chop they product Foreign cars exotic, got hoes hypnotic While I cruise through the concrete, blowin my chronic And I move like a diplomat, hoodie and fitted caps Dwell in the habitat where cons and killers at Faced a thousand deaths, cowards'll bow to the feet of the almighty, a God to the black child I told moms I would be somethin I gave myself to the world now it's like you owe me somethin Listen up, I got a story to tell It's like I fell out of heaven just to walk through hell It's what, fueled my fire, ignited my desire You gave me the bricks and the sand to build the empire Throw the seal on my forehead, my faith still strong With all I've been through, you would think my faith gone But nope, I hold my stance in stone I move mountains with my will and succeed that's how I keep goin Won't stop been the motto, feelin rich like I won the lotto It's almost like seein through the eyes of a crack child Dodgin crisis, three strike system niggaz trapped in a vice grip You can't defeat me, I defy all odds and sabotages I survived Reagan, I survived the first Bush Thinkin back when my moms gave that first push Thank God for my life I came through the room Until the evil of part two, when God gave me a sequel Rags to royal, momma hand her hands in soil Pops moved drugs in capsules and foils I foiled your plans and made you aware And turned America's dream into a nightmare Yeah, you feel the vibe muh'fuckers The first B.I., "Ready to Die" muh'fuckers So "Who Shot Ya," 9 to 5 muh'fuckers "Bad Boy for Life," is I muh'fuckers And it's back, better than it ever was I'm talkin like we was gone but we never was So I deliver the truth uncut We produce more hits got the booth fucked up On top of the statue yellin "Who want what?" For the past ten years, the future is us (C'mon man) Eyes closed like I'm blowin reefer The preview is over, now enjoy the future Niggaz I wanna thank y'all for believin in me for so long Thank y'all for ridin with a nigga As we continue on! You are now listenin to the sounds Of the world famous... you know my name You know my name
